Comey's own staff tried to warn him off. Then when he did go public he misrepresented what the FBI had and what they were actually looking for.

What the FBI had was a back-up file from before Clinton deleted her personal emails. Comey was fishing for something in the emails Clinton later deleted. What he found for "new" email was things like where the two women discussed what they were going to wear to a function that evening - definitely personal in nature.

What Comey ended up finding out was that this back-up file exonerated Clinton on all issues. She played by the rules. But Comey again was less that candid about the findings. Comey was a political hack for Trump regarding this aspect of the investigation into Clinton's email. He cannot be forgiven.
